Multiple device aliases

[OneBobone]

Hello, Is it possible to have several active aliases for the DEVICE_NAME? If the alias call can be identified, it would enable an interesting integration with multi-room amplifiers.

Hi there, can you expand a bit on this idea? Not sure I fully understand it.

A multi zone amplifier typically takes a source and amplifies the music to a selected pair of speakers in a zone. Some of these amplifiers can be controlled by code.

If Balena could enable aliases of the DEVICE_NAME for each zone and track when selected from a music app, I could programmatically relay control of the correct zone from a phone. Would be very nice. Some systems do this already.
